Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[VolsDoc81TX]

People are so dumb...I'm going with 7-9 wins not counting the bowl game...unless we have significant injuries of course...then all bets are off.

16-0 brother until it ain’t. Win em all.

Won’t see me bitching if we don’t.

Do we think we actually get a good QB from the portal? The names mentioned in articles I've read have been kind of lackluster, IMO.

We will be worst off in terms of talent. I hope I am wrong but that's my mindset. We had to do it for the culture of the program.

The $4m Green Wave..

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

I don't...the "optimistic" ones are the same cancerous dumbasses that want to destroy the program when their delusions aren't realized

16-0

Optimistic as hell right here. No dumbassery if we fall short.

Josh Hoover would cook here w Heup

Id like to think there is a crowded room at a big program and a kid that just barely missed the starting job this spring to a guy the same year as him that would jump at the opportunity to come here.

I'd like to know what they think about how it's gone so far, especially if he ends up at tulane or something.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

And if he ends up at osu/oregon?

Personally, I think most likely destination is usc. He and Riley seem made for each other.

Wherever he ends up, he probably does it for the same or less $. Seems like an awful big pita to start over for the same or less money.

Not so sure about that but if so agreed

Maybe Nico plays for Edmonton Eskimos next season. Correction they are the Elks now...

He struggles in cold games.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Nico: "Isa jus kiddin'. Can I have my $2.5M back?"

 

[RiseToTheTop]

He struggles in cold games.

Can argue he struggles in all games that arent 7v7

Luke Altmyer has not been eliminated. Stay strong.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

As far as a vet QB needing more than the summer session to figure out the offense.

How about Joe Milton? He figured out the offense just fine after summer workouts and camp...he just missed too often.

None of these other guys will miss a million wide open guys all over the
field.

We will always run the ball well, Heup still schemes them open and our defense is good. Great things can still happen.

You know, part of me feels a bit bad for Nico. It’s really just a sad situation. Tennessee obviously did the right thing and we’re going to be better off long-term, but to watch a career derail like this in real-time is tough. He seemed by all accounts like a quiet kid who just wanted to play football, and now his dad and handlers have likely ruined him.

If he ends up at a place like Tulane, it will be funny, but also just a really sad outcome of this entire thing.

I forgot how many wide open throws he missed against bama lol

 

[UTgrad2015]

I have never seen a train wreck in person, but Nico’s career is as a close as I’ll get to witnessing one

 

[BigSteve09]

Part of it is that. Ultimately it's just frustrating that it all had to play out like this.

 

[GoVawls1821]

Man I really hope we get a starter out of the portal. Just feels like it would be too risky to stick with Merk and George. I hope @dascoop or @KingVFL weigh in soon. As a side note, I sure do miss ATLVol... Man would come in here and calm the situation down. Would have loved to still have him around during a weekend like last weekend.

Nico and dad are scrambling harder than Bahama John in 2017 right now.

He's an adult. If you are making millions you need to grow up. We are past the point of treating these college kids with gloves while they are trying to milk every penny from the fans and boosters.
